He isn't. All of these players are better than Rondo:

Rose
Williams
Paul
Parker
Westbrook

And the only reason I didn't add Irving, is because he's a rookie. If he continues to make strides, he'll be ahead of Rondo too.

Nah.

In what world is Rondo better than D-Will:what:

If you watched the Spurs this season, you'd see why Parker is better than Rondo. I'm guessing you never watched them.

I'll take Rondo's vision, versatility, and leadership >>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest of em

Nah nikka. That wasn't the question.

Rondo's versatility, Rondo's leadership? How is Rondo more versatile than D-Will and Parker? When has Rondo shown the leadership that D-Will and Parker have shown throughout their careers?

Did Rondo do some shyt to your family we should know about? Its ok to let it out here, we dont judge.

Ive seen your hating ass in every Celtics game thread with your comments about how much Rondo makes you butt hurt.

Naw, I've already addressed this. I ain't hating on dude.

I'm just bringing folk back down to earth from their fantasyland-perspectives of him. What I'm saying is gospel, if folk are misconstruing it as hate, that's on them.

Your entitled to that opinion, but it seems like you got something against Rondo. What else does Rondo have to do to have him top 5 in your eyes?. Honestly Rondo better than Parker , Williams , and Rose. Only one worth debating is Paul.

Edit : Your telling me that Irving is going to be better than Rondo?

In order for Rondo to be top 5 - he has to develop a legitimate shooting/finishing +/- scoring skillset. At face value, it seems he has done very little to improve this area of his game. He was still getting the '5-feet-ima-let-you-marinate-defence' in the conference finals. Could you imagine teams doing that to the aforementioned players? No of course you couldn't, because it just wouldn't happen.

We will not get an accurate bearing of where he sits, until he's without the big three (or even partly).

If Irving continues to make strides from where he was this past season, most definitely. No question about it. Like I said, the only reason I don't put him above Rondo now is because he's been in the league, one season.

I can understand that, but Rondo has shown he can score he averaged 12 points or so this season, but when it matters (playoffs) does he not come through? Im just sayin vision , defense , and playmaking ability are important as a pg and no ones close to him.

In Rondo's case, PPG/FG% are not the best indicators at all. They're invalid when comparing to other PGs.

Oh, don't even get me started on his defense. He doesn't have anywhere near the defensive prowess that folk claim he has. Why are you talking about Rondo's vision like Paul, D-Will and Nash don't exist?

Nah he doesn't have the playmaking ability that Rose, D-Will and Paul have either. No where near.

I really hate bringing stats up, but like I said Paul is the only one we can debate with against Rondo.

I dunno, Boston seems hell bent on trading Rondo. They've put him on the trading block on last year's trade deadline, last off season & this years trade deadline. For some reason, regardless of him being their best player, Boston really wants Rondo out of there.

Because of his attitude towards the vets, Ray in particular. I doubt he'll be traded now, though.
